Rag and Bone Buffet: Rare Cuts and Leftovers is a compilation album by XTC released in 1990. An odds and sods collection, it brings together B-sides, BBC sessions, soundtrack contributions, both sides of two singles released by offshoot The Three Wise Men, a solo single recorded by Colin Moulding as The Colonel and other obscurities. It is notable for including some of the most eccentric numbers in their catalogue such as "Cockpit Dance Mixture", "Countdown to Christmas Party Time" and "History of Rock & Roll".
